marked on the cuff. Measure the circumference of your patient’s limb. Use only Bionet cuffs with
your monitor.
Warning
Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring is not recommended for patients with
hypotension, hypertension, arrhythmias or extremely high or low heart rate. The
software algorithm cannot accurately compute NIBP or patients with these conditions.
Warning
As the value of NIBP can vary according to the age and sex of a patient, the user needs to
set up right data in parameter Menu before measurement. Tubes between the cuff and the
monitor are not kinked or blocked.
Pay attention to not to block connecting hose when you put cuff on patient.
Cuff or hose connection for leaks periodically. Measurements can be inaccurate if air leaks.
The air pad should be exactly over the branchial artery. Tubing is immediately to the right
or left of the branchial artery to prevent kinking when elbow is bent.
Try to measure infants when they are calm. A kicking or crying baby may disturb or jiggle
the cuff, causing noise within the system and resulting in unstable blood pressure readings.
If necessary, hold the cuffed limb steady, without impeding circulation. Do not hold onto
the cuff and do not pat the cuffed limb to comfort the child.
NIBP cannot be taken under all conditions. Even manual methods, employing a
sphygmomanometer and stethoscope, will not work on unstable or active patients.
Pressurization of the CUFF can temporarily cause loss of function of simultaneously used
monitoring ME EQUIPMENT on the same limb
The need to check that operation of the NIBP does not result in prolonged impairment of
the circulation of the blood of the PATIENT
